So if I understand this correctly, my extension could be licensed with a

since the libraries it uses are not put into PECL, just the extension

You can build an extension that links against an LGPL'ed library and that
extension can go into PECL with a PECL-compatible license like the PHP
license. That is not the case for a GPL'ed library because the GPL treats
anything that links against it as a derived work.
Just wondering:
How can extensions like gettext exist in PHP?
The extension links against the GPL'ed gettext.
